JOSEPH LAUFERIY, OF NEW YORK, N. Y.

SUSPENDER-END.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 255,175, dated March 21, 1882.

Application filed August 30, 1881.

the invention are hereinafter more fully described, but more particularly pointed out in the claims.

Reference being bad to the drawings, Figure I shows my Suspender-end attached to the tip. Fig. II shows the material shaped to form my Suspender-end.

Similar letters refer to similar parts throughout the drawings.

In the drawings, A represents the tip to which my suspender-ends are attached. B are my snspender-ends. D is the button-loop in my suspender-end.

In my invention, in order to make the suspender-ends B, I take a piece of leather, cloth,

, or other suitable material of about double the length of the suspender-end, whose width varies from an inch and a quarter to an inch and a half, and paste on it a narrow strip of cloth, (indicated in Fig. II by H,) which, however, is not necessary, but may be used, if desired. ing done this, I turn over sidewise both edges of the material toward the middle until one portion of the material overlaps the other, and then paste them together. I lay off a certain portion of this strip of material at about an equal distance from each end, which is shown in Fig. II byv the letters 0 c, and twist or fold, as the case may be, one edge of this intermediate portion, 0 0, round the other, having bent it outwardly, as shown in Fig. II of the drawin gs,leaving untouched the flat parts 01 and at. These edges 0 care sewed together as folded; but when twisted of course no sewing will be required. To complete the suspender-end, I take one part, d, and turn it around and place Hav- (No model.)

it on the top of the part d in such a manner that the intermediate part, c 0, already sewed and folded or twisted, will assume the shape of the loop D, which is shown in Fig.1. The flat parts d and d are then sewed tightly together.

By making a Suspender-end of leather or cloth in the manner described I am provided with a button-loop which is safe and strong and capable of resisting, more satisfactorily than other button-loops the strain which is broughtto bear upon it.

The suspender-ends, together with the tip, I

embellish with appropriate figures or emblems,

which are partly shown in Fig.1; or they may be left plain.

I am well aware that there are various devices for Suspender-ends; but uonethat I know of are made in the manner-described.

What I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. The method hereinbefore more fully described and set forth of making suspenderends for suspenders, which consists in taking a rectaugularshapcd piece of leather or other suitable material, as described, and folding one side over on the other, and then pasting them together, then in bending said piece of leather at or near the center, so as to form the part indicated by c o, and, lastly, in laying the parts (1 and d of said piece of leather on top of each other and sewing them, so that in the operation the part 0 0 shall form the button-loop of the Suspender-end.

2. The suspender-end B, composed of one continuous piece of leather or other material,

arranged as described, having at either end JOSEPH LAUFERTY.
